A 4-1 home loss to PSV in the Champions League was their ninth defeat in 12 games across all competitions and raised significant concerns over the squad’s motivation.
West Ham, meanwhile, have turned a corner under Nuno Espirito Santo. Back-to-back wins over Newcastle and Burnley lifted the mood, and even a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth, in which the Hammers held a two-goal lead, has not dampened spirits.
And now West Ham will be licking their lips in anticipation of a big scalp against a wounded Reds team.
